Can I build a cluster by adding the cluster service, then the SQL instances, then add the other nodes and their passive SQL instances?I would lean to building the cluster first, the add the SQL instances.
View 4 RepliesDuring the installation of Adding node to a SQL Server failover cluster(On passive node) getting error like.. The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.We  run the below commands but didn’t get any resolution & got the same above error .

We have successfully been using MSCS with MSSQL7 (SP1) running under NT4 EE

PowerEdge 6350 machines. Recently I installed MSSQL7 (SP2), I followed the
instructions that came with SP2, and unclustered the SQL nodes using the
Failover Cluster Wizard, and installed SP2, this was uneventful, and
appeared to install correctly. Next I tried to recluster the SQL nodes
using the Failover Cluster Wizard as directed. This failed with: "Could not
run setup on remote machine. SQL Cluster Setup failed." So I began the
usual research using the usual resources, and have found articles that
discusses this error, and the things to look for when it happens. I have
exhausted all suggestions without success. I appear to have everything
correctly configured. I have enabled Cluster Logging (level 3), following
are the two things I have found that indicate something is wrong:
1. In the SQL Error Log the following gets logged when I run the wizard:
"Attempting to initialize Distributed Transaction Coordinator."
"Failed to obtain TransactionDispenserInterface:

Hi
We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?
Thanks

According to microsoft, we can cluster SSIS service but it is NOT RECOMMENDED.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345193.aspx
Now this is the situation that I have where I need to understand how SSIS works?
Enviornment: Active Active cluster enviornment for SQL server with SSIS server installed as stand alone as default on both node.
Name: Node 1 Node 2
--------- -------------- ---------------------
Server name: Nd1 Nd2
SQL server name: cs-nd1in01 cs-nd2in02
SSIS server name: Nd1 Nd2
BTW, this is cosolidated enviornment so there are more than one application expected and resides on each instance of SQL server.
The question is around SSIS, what would be the best practice to develop SSIS package that can work with above envoinrment.
Secnario: What if my Nd1 fails. SQL server cs-nd1IN01 will be failover to Nd2 and it will be available. But How about SSIS packages? How that understands
to use Nd2 SSIS as Nd1 SSIS is not available. Is anyone has similar experience to setup SSIS in cluster envionrment but as non-cluster service?
Please help. Thanks in adavance.
Hi,
I've just installed SQL 2005 SP2 Rollup 3 Package (Build 3186) on a 2 node X64 W2K3 Cluster.
Everything went fine, although after the install, the SQLAgent Services of my instances started to complain about delegation not enabled for the domain account used for the SQLAgent Service.
SPN's were already registered, so I've enabled unconstrained delegation & no errors anymore..
Apparently we're obliged to enable delegation as soon as this hotfix is installed
(maybe due to fix 938086 included in it ?)
To make this setup more secure, we would like to enable constrained delegation.
This does not seem to work, as soon as we choose constrained delegation by adding the SPN of the clustername to the domain user account we're running with & restart the sql agent, it fails with the same error as when no delegation was configured:
! [298] SQLServer Error: 22022, CryptUnprotectData() returned error -2146892987, 'The requested operation cannot be completed. The computer must be trusted for delegation and the current user account must be configured to allow delegation.' [SQLSTATE 42000]
! [442] ConnConnectAndSetCryptoForXpstar failed (0).
Summary:
With Unconstrained delegation enabled for computer account & user account, everything goes fine.
As soon as constrained delegation is chosen, by adding the SPN's to the domain user account of SQL Agent, SQL agent fails to start.
We use a domain account for the SQL Agent.
This account has an 2 SPN registered on it
MSSQLSvc/<FQDN SQL instance network name>:1433
MSSQLSvc/<FQDN SQL instance network name>
Connections to SQL go fine, authorization scheme is Kerberos even when SQL Agent fails to start due to this delegation failure.
Domain account has "act as part of operating system" & "impersonate a client after authorzation"
Anyone an idea ?
I have no idea how to apply "fixes" or updates to SQL Server when it is running on a cluster.
We are currently running SQL Server 2005 with SP2. The version would be Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (X64) Feb 10 2007 00:59:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
I am hoping that someone can tell me of a document that exists, that includes the very basics, on how to do this. I need something that says go to the cluster and do these steps in this order, etc. from start to finish.
Thank you.
We are on SQL Server 2000 A/A cluster and are moving to SQL Server 2005 cluster.
Following are the list of things before proceeding, please let me know if it needs any corrections and add-ons:
(side-by-side) Planning for new installation of SQL Server 2005 ( SQL2005INST1 and SQL2005INST2) on node1 and node2 and restoring the databases on SQL2005INST1 and SQL2005INST2 from respective 2000 instances.
1) SQL2005INST1
SQL Network Name
SQL IP address
2) SQL2005INST2
SQL Network Name
SQL IP address
As 2000 is already existing on the cluster.Want some clarity on following questions.
Can I keep the data files on the same disk as 2000 was using ?
Do I need to have new disk for the Quoram drive?
Under "Virtual Server Configuration" wizard during the setup under "Network to use"--- for "private cluster network" and "public cluster network" do that IP Address and network address and network subnet will be different from what we gave for SQL 2000.
Thanks

Have recently performed an in-place upgrade of a 2 instance sql cluster from 2000 to 2005. The upgrade process went relatively smoothly. However, I am running into problems installed sp2. The first problem that I run into is that I have resrcmon.exe locked. I can click next, which is fine, but once I get past that point I get stuck during the installation process. I am updating DatabaseServices and Integration Services. It gets stuck on 'Awaiting first complete passive cluster node SQL-Test'. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi There
I have upgraded many standalone sql server instances however never a cluster.
I have an active active 2 node cluster. Each running an instance of Sql Serevr , 1 default and the other a named instance.
All i can find in BOL is "How to: Upgrade to a SQL Server 2005 Failover Cluster (Setup) ", however this does not tell you how to upgrade and existing cluster.
Is there anything different ?
Will the upgrade detect the cluster and upgrade binary files on both nodes automatically etc? In other words is there anything different i have to be aware of when upgrading sql server instances cluster?
Thanx

Ok Here is the story with hopefully all the details.
I had a single node cluster Itanium server running W2k3 IA 64 Ent. SP2 with 2 x sql2000 ent sp4 and 1 sql2005 sp1 instances installed and a clustered file share.
All is well with them.
I attempted to add an additional node to my cluster which started out fine but when I tried to run the sql2000 setup to add this node, there are no warning or errors. Its a silent failure.
I tried many different scenarios but the results are the same. I evicted the node and then tried to run the setup on the evicted node. The setup ran without error. I tried to run setup on my single node cluster and it fails in the same manner. I read and read and from the sqlstp.log this is what I find. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong? i have check all my permissions but I can't put my finger on what it could be.Help Help.

Does anyone know how to install SQL 2005 integration services on a cluster machine?
I have an a-a cluster machine. Both nodes are using SQL 2005 naming instance. During the SQL installation, I did include integration services option as one of my setup items. The setup process was running fine but I can€™t connect to integration services via MS SQL Server management studio. I see below errors:
€œInvalid server name "TESTServerB123". SSIS service does not support multi-instance, use just server name instead of "server nameinstance".
Looks like I must use default instance for 2005 integration services. I re-ran the setup program and added a default instance on the same cluster node. (On that node I have one default instance and one naming instance). Now I can connect to the default SQL Server but when I click on €œstored packages€?, I don€™t see file system and MSDB. It shows nothing at all. Any idea how to make integration services running on a cluster machine?
Thanks

I am beginning the process of moving SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005 cluster.
Has anyone already did this and is there anything I should know?
We plan on leaving the SQL 2000 database up during this process and granting read only at the time.

We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2003 Server 32 - bit Standard to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003 64-bit Enterprise. Our existent cluster's databases are residing on SAN. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2003 32-bit Server to Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.
What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?
1. Break the link between the servers. Or should we just evict the passive node?
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64-bit server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2003 32-bit Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Bring the active server down.
4. Create new cluster on the newly upgraded server and assign the same cluster name and IP as the original one.
5 Bring the luns from SAN to the newly upgraded server and initialize SQL Upgrade
6. As a final step, the old active node will be rebuilt, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 64 - bit server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.
Thoughts?

After is completed, it was successful, I realized I specified the wrong Instance Root directory.
Is it possible to remove what the preparation installed? Or is it possible to change the root directory?
